Question

For each of the following scenarios, identify:

the population of interest,
the outcome variable being measured on each observational unit,
whether the outcome variable being measured is categorical or quantitative/Continuous,
the parameter of interest, define both in words and using the appropriate statistical symbol (π, π1 -π2, µ, µ1 - µ2, or µd), and
the null and alternative hypotheses, written in correct statistical notation (not in words)

(a) To examine the safety of working in a nuclear power plant, we assess deaths due to cancer among all deaths at a particular power plant. Based on vital statistics, about 20% of all deaths can be attributed to some form of cancer.

(b) A randomized trial study is performed to compare survival (time to death in months) two chemotherapy drugs (A vs B) among cancer patients. A sample of cancer patients are randomly assigned to treatment A or B.
